+<h2>Description</h2>
+<p>
+The tracks listed here contain data from
+<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/genome-bottle"><b>The Genome in a Bottle Consortium (GIAB)</b></a>,
+an open, public consortium hosted by 
+<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nist.gov/">NIST</a>. The priority of GIAB is to develop 
+reference standards, reference methods, and reference data by authoritative characterization of 
+human genomes for use in <b>benchmarking</b>, including analytical validation and technology 
+development that will support translation of whole human genome sequencing to clinical practice. The sole 
+purpose of this work is to provide validated variants and regions to enable technology and 
+bioinformatics developers to benchmark and optimize their detection methods.
+
+</p>
+<p> 
+The <b>Ashkenazim and the Chinese Trio tracks</b> show benchmark <b>SNV calls</b> from two 
+son/father/mother trios of Ashkenazi Jewish and Han Chinese ancestry from the 
+<a target="_blank" href="https://www.personalgenomes.org/us">Personal Genome Project</a>, 
+consented for commercial redistribution.
+</p>
+<p>
+The <b>Genome In a Bottle Structural Variants track</b> shows benchmark <b>SV calls</b> (5,262 insertions 
+and 4,095 deletions, &gt 50 bp, in 2.51 Gb of the genome) from the son (HG002/NA24385) from the 
+Ashkenazi Jewish trio.
+<p>
+</p>
+Samples are disseminated as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
+<a target="_blank" href="https://www.coriell.org/1/NIGMS/Collections/NIST-Reference-Materials">Reference Materials</a>.
+</p>
+<h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
+These tracks are multi-view composite tracks that contain multiple data types (views). Each view 
+within a track has separate display controls, as described 
+<a target="_blank" href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/multiView.html">here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Unlike a regular genome browser track, the <b>Ashkenazim and the Chinese Trio</b> tracks display 
+the genome variants of each individual as two <b>haplotypes</b>; SNPs, small insertions and deletions are 
+mapped to each haplotype based on the <b>phasing</b> information of the VCF file. The <em>haplotype</em> 
+1 and the <em>haplotype 2</em> are displayed as two separate black lanes for the browser window 
+region. Each variant is drawn as a vertical dash. <b>Homozygous variants</b> will show two identical 
+dashes on both haplotype lanes. <b>Phased heterozygous variants</b> are placed on one of the haplotype 
+lanes and <b>unphased heterozygous variants</b> are displayed in the area between the two haplotype lanes.
+</p>
+<p>
+Predicted de novo variants and variants that are inconsistent with phasing in the trio son can be 
+colored in <b><font color="red">red</font></b> using the track Configuration options.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Data Access</h2>
+The raw data can be explored interactively with the <a target="_blank" href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">
+Table Browser</a>, or the <a target="_blank" href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>. For
+automated analysis, the data may be queried from our <a target="_blank"
+href="/goldenPath/help/api.html">REST API</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Benchmark VCF and BED files for small variants are available for GRCh37 and GRCh38 under each
+genome at <a target="_blank" href="ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ReferenceSamples/giab/release/">NCBI FTP</a> site. 
+Structural variants are available for GRCh37 at dbVAR 
+<a target="_blank" href+"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/dbvarapp/studies/nstd175/">nst175</a>.
